For some reason I really struggled with that second level! But I loved this little game. Simple mechanic executed really. Levels were fun an interactive!

Developer

thanks for playing my game, the levels are definitely a hard(mostly with how inconsistent some of the physics are) and I'm going to be fixing that, once again thanks for playing

This entry is truly a hidden gem! While the visuals are simple, the gameplay is well polished and quite addicting. My one criticism is fixing movement but judging by other comments you've received, I can tell that you are aware of this lol. Well done :D

Really fun! Controls felt a bit wonky at first but I got used to it, had a great time playing this one. Cute lil pixel art circles too.

Developer

thank you so much for playing my game, the controls have been brought up quite a bit so I'll be fixing them next, glad you enjoyed it :)

Really simple Idea, but done really well. Good efforts on the levels and good job overall! The movement feels a bit off but aside from that it was a lot of fun :)

Developer

Good concept, control feels a bit slow but it enjoyable. Welldone!

Developer

thanks for playing my game, I've gotten some comments saying the controls need work which is very true, thanks again :)

It felt like the game's movement and interaction would've felt the same way if there wasn't a tether. 

like the ball on the bottom is just a really small moving ball, the tether didn't feel like it changes anything on how it affects the ball

Good game idea. I think sound effects could have improved it a little bit, though it's not a major thing. The controls were fairly good though there may have been too much time spent accelerating/decelerating when you first start moving or change directions so it sometimes felt that the player character wasn't completely in your control. Other than that it was an enjoyable few minutes spent playing it so well done.

thanks for taking the time to play my game, I'm glad you found some fun in it, I do agree that the controls and audio need some tweeking
